Some people force others to have sex, perform criminal jobs, or work under very poor conditions. What if you could see with your own eyes what labor, sexual, and criminal exploitation really looks like? This can happen on Thursday, October 16, in the Exploitation Container at the Market in Maastricht.
How does it work?
In the container, there are 3 rooms. You will recognize a house or bedroom. Each room highlights a different form of exploitation and shows what to look for to recognize exploitation. During your visit to the rooms, you will receive explanations. We want to raise your awareness of the subject and empower you in the fight against these forms of undermining.
You will learn:
- what it looks like when people are exploited at work.
- what the signs of sexual exploitation are; of sex under duress.
- how young people and adults can become involved in criminal activities sometimes without realizing it.

Victims of exploitation are often abused and are therefore too afraid or unable to report themselves. Recognize the signs of exploitation and report suspicions.
